KindaSpikey Loc: English living in San Diego

Although I'm not a big fan of Facebook, I'm a brit living in the USA, and I use it to stay in touch with friends back in the UK. I've noticed recently lots of posts regarding "famous celebrities" apparently getting in trouble, for promoting "cbd" (medication derived from cannabis). I wonder if it is all true, or is it just click bait? It seems like a different person almost every day, and if it's not true, how do the people posting not get sued? Just wondering out loud.

A few years back, my wife and I took a road trip to Texas for a vacation. We both were taking CBD oil, perfectly legal where we came from in CT. Upon checking in to the hotel in Dallas and turning on the evening TV news, there was a piece about the police chief of Dallas refusing to recognize CBD oil as being legal and that it would not be a good idea to get caught with it in Dallas. That was winter of 2018-19. I'm sure that has changed by now, but I wouldn't be surprised that a country like Russia would ban it and find a way to use it as leverage over foreign visitors and dignitaries. We just took our dose in the room each morning and hid the bottle in our suitcase rather than leaving it out. We had no problem.

In light of the WNBA star that is being held in Russia for CBD possession, I misunderstood your post. But I understand your question now. It hasn't been the celebs that have been getting into trouble for promoting CBD. It's the companies that are falsely using their images and claiming that the celebs are endorsing the products or even have a stake in the company selling it who are getting busted.
